Dreams of Chaos Official Fiction of Chaos Reborn The Death of Gods Trilogy Book 1 eBook Allen Stroud Svetoslav Petrov
“Dreams of Chaos” is an epic story of wizards, warriors, dragons, magic and religion. There are multiple story lines running concurrently and bring a well-balanced variety to the novel. The author, Mr. Allen Stroud, gives birth to a creative and interesting world (even a portion of the story that takes place in Japan) along with well-developed and well thought out adventures for the characters to experience. My favorite story line has to do with Galina and Katya. Each sister is blessed with a special power that she has to learn how to use and control and proves to be very entertaining. The writing is excellent and flows from Mr. Stroud’s keyboard as smooth as silk. He has a way of using every color in the palette to explain intense actions scenes, specific items, settings and situations that enhances what the reader “sees” in his mind. I frequently lost myself in the story and felt the cold stones of a dungeon or the splatter of blood on my face after a battle. Since this is the first part of a trilogy, I look forward to reading the next two novels as well. If you’re looking for a good medieval fantasy, then Dreams of Chaos is for you.Product details

Dreams of Chaos Official Fiction of Chaos Reborn The Death of Gods Trilogy Book 1 eBook Allen Stroud Svetoslav Petrov Reviews
The novel is structured around the story arcs for each of the characters mentioned in the blurb, with interludes consisting of timelines and quotes of historical persons (which I really, really liked). The narration switches between the different storylines, and you get the feeling that eventually the plot strands will come together at some point – though they have not done so at the end of this book as it's the first one in a trilogy. It’s a short read, made very dynamic through the numerous viewpoints.
In short, “I liked it and I didn’t like it.” (Hemingway quote)
Liked The prose was very good. Stroud knows how to tell a story and weaves words skillfully to make an enjoyable read. The premise is fascinating, and the multicultural impact of the magic world on that alternate history, ranging from Japan, over the Aztecs, to medieval Europe is shown through the various plotlines. I find this is far too often not the case in epic fantasy, where most writers (myself included) stick to generic fantasy medieval Europe by default. It was great to see that differentiated here.
But –
Didn’t like The epic scope is also the novel’s kryptonite. Because there are so many people of interest, it’s hard to really get into the story. I have this same problem with GRRM’s A Song of Ice and Fire. It seems to be the thing today in fantasy to write from multiple viewpoints, with converging plotlines. I’m not sure I know why. Too many POV characters can be confusing (they’re not in this book, though), and you tend to enjoy one storyline with a certain character more than others, so that this one becomes the focal point. The problem with that is, you start impatiently skimming pages of the storylines that don’t matter as much to you, and so might miss important pieces of information.
Here I had few main characters I rooted for (Galina and Piers). However, my favourites ended up being the supporting cast Eleanor of Aquitaine (totally geeked out over her inclusion as a powerful mage) and the mischief maker Faim who appears in several plotstrands as a twisted kind of mentor with an agenda of his own.
The problem with book to game or game to book adaptations is always the question of who you’re writing for for the gamers who want to dig deeper into the lore and history of their game’s world (I think this is what Stroud is doing here), or to attract readers to the game. So I’m not sure who to recommend Dreams of Chaos to.
I'll try with this if you like book series that have alternate fantastical histories as a premise, or you have played/are playing Chaos Reborn, this might be the book for you. It’s definitely well written and will make for an entertaining read.
